I recently moved to the Atlanta area from FL and I am having a hard time finding a physician who will takeover my care. I had my llap band surgery, in Sept 2007. I lost over 50% of my weight and unfortunately switched doctorsin 2011 and gained back almost half of what I lost. I am badly in need of a fill. I was referred to Emory but they will not see me because I had my surgery elsewhere. I am miserable with this weight gain.

Thank you

Call Dr. Scott Steinberg out of Dekalb Medical 404 501-7081
, he will most likely see you.

I agree with that recommendation. Dr. Steinberg acceptst patients that were operated on elsewhere. You should be very pleased with him and the care that he gives his patients.

I have heard nothing but good about Steinburg. However I would suggest revising rather than pursuing more fills. The band is a problems waiting to happen! :-(

Not sure what you mean by revise. I do not want another surgery. I just want my fill to be where it was before my last physician ruined my maintenance.

Sanbals,

I am a Dr. Webb patient and also moved to Atlanta. I see Kevin McGill at Piedmont. He was referred to me by my Atlanta GP. I really like him.
